In the news

Last Sunday, The Cincinnati Enquirer ran three stories about adoption; two featured Tommy and our family.  One talked about all the "stuff" going on in international adoption these days; fraud, corruption, etc.  We didn't experience ANY of that in our adoption, but I guess it's out there somewhere.  Here's the story.

One was just about us, Tommy, our family and our adoption experience.  It was part of a contrast; there was another family whose experience has been the opposite of ours.  They've been waiting 3 years for a little girl from Guatemala. Very sad.

The third story was about the International Adoption Clinic at Childrens Hospital.  They've been very nice and helpful.

Overall, we've had a great adoption experience so far.  And we're happy to bring some attention to the issue.  We're hopeful others will read these stories, understand the plight of children like Tommy, and take our lead.
